Great Scott! Time Travel!

Honestly, I want to believe that time travel is real. I love the “Back to the Future” movies, I wasted six years of my life watching “Lost”…I mean, how cool would it be to go back and see pirates from the 1600′s or the signing of the Declaration of Independence?

And time travel could be closer than you think…maybe.

A video recently hit the web from an amateur film maker saying that he believes that he spotted a woman talking on what looks like a mobile phone at the premiere of Charlie Chaplin’s film, “The Circus.”

Great Scott, Marty!

How is this possible? The Circus” came out in late 1920′s and the first compact phone wasn’t invented until the 1970′s. Did she travel back to the premiere from the not-so-distant future?

George Clarke, the creator of the video that now has over a million hits, states that he has showed the footage to over a 100 people. No one can explain it to him. And supposedly, the footage is not something he created, but in fact footage that he found on the bonus features on the DVD collection of the Chaplin film.

Though the inner ”Lost” fan inside me is rooting for time travel, it’s probably not a cell phone, although it does make you think. Is it possible? Can you go to the past and take your mother to the Under the Sea Enchantment Dance? Anything is possible, though I doubt they’ll be selling time traveling Deloreans at your local car dealership any time soon.

I’ve inserted the video below for everyone to check out and come up with your own conclusions. Is it a rock? An old version of a hearing aid? An iPhone? It’s 8 minutes long, so if you want to see the actual footage of the “time traveler”, just skip to 2:34.
